Hey friends, Welcome to this week's edition of the 2x2 newsletter. Below you'll find a couple of recommendations for you to check out; and then, below that are a couple of ideas from me. Enjoy! Check this out 1: [Seven Types of Rest](
"Sleep and rest are not the same thing."
2: [Packing cubes](
A few years ago I finally got some packing cubes to see what all the fuss is about. Now I can't imagine how I ever went on a trip without them. Packing cubes allow you to compress and organize your clothes into a much smaller space, making it easier to pack. I got my cubes from Goruck, but the the 10L size is too big. If I were buying new ones I'd get a few of [these](. Something to think about 1: Counterfeit Rest vs True Rest
Speaking of rest... whenever you set out to make change or embark on a bold venture, there will be resistance. One common area of resistance that comes against our efforts to live a focused life is what I call "Counterfeit Rest". When you have rested, you ought to be recharged and have more energy. Thus, try to find restful activities that give you energy rather than things that drain your energy. When I teach about this in The Focus Course, we discuss the fact that true rest usually requires a little bit of effort (i.e. reading a book, cooking a meal, taking a walk...). 2: Yes, Yes, Yes ... No, No, No
Something I have been thinking about lately is the difference between random tactics and focused strategy. Whenever you are trying to make progress in an area of your life or business, or when you are fleshing out a new idea, at first you have many new ideas and tactics â you say yes to all sorts of activities, ideas, material, etc... However, eventually you must transition your energy from going side and begin to go deep. You must focus down on just the vital few activities and ideas that truly move you toward your desired outcome. This transition is critical. Because without it, you will have no focus, no strategy, and, thus, no meaningful progress. * * * â Shawn P.S. Save the date: September 14 is when we begin our first-ever, brand-new, Focus Course Academy. There is so much to tell you about it, but all in due time.
